chapter 1687
Chris’ face scrunched as his worry overtook him.
Pursing her lips at the sight of a worried Chris, Charmine added, "If you’re worried about your father,
you can go and check on him."
"What about you, Mommy?" Chris gazed at her expectantly, eyes wide with hope.

"I''m not going," came Charmine''s simple answer.
"Alright, then..." Chris reluctantly walked out of the house, his figure seemingly deste as he did.
Charmine willed herself to remain aloof as she sat in the living room, with one hand supporting her
face. Despite that, her thoughts ran rampant.
Within a few minutes, Chris'' rmed, urgent voice was heard from the other side, "Daddy, don''t scare
me...! Why are you throwing up blood?"
Throwing up blood? Was it that bad?
Charmine''s heart clenched at the thought as her hand on the table twitched.
Anthony was that sickly because of her. It made sense for her to go and check up on him, no?
Charmine could not stop herself from standing up, wanting to go to Anthony''s house.
Just as she got to the door, however, a thought urred to Charmine, ''So what if it’s severe?''
She made the dish for this to happen.
He had to be severely ill so he would leave the vige and get professional help in Burlington.
In this case, this matter should not have troubled her, yes.
From the moment Anthony came into the vige, however, Charmine was thrown off bnce.
Frowning, Charmine turned the doorknob and walked out of the house, but instead of heading toward
Anthony''s house, she walked toward the field instead.
In the past two days, Anthony had disoriented her mind, and she had to get a breather to clear up her
mind. She must not fall for his act.
Arriving in the field, Charmine relished the breeze that blew by. She gazed at the lighting from the
houses and felt the warmth families in these houses radiated. Charmine''s anxiousness receded with
this.
As Charmine continued to walk, she spotted a beautiful figure not too far from her...who was also
walking toward her.
Both women maintained eye contact before the other woman eximed, "Charmine?"
"Dior?"
The surprised Dior came toward Charmine and said, "Why are you out here alone thiste?"
Dior''s cast on her leg had been removed, but her arm was still bandaged. This did not seem to bother
her, however, as she happily chirped, "My leg has pretty much recovered. The doctor said I can go out
for a walk, so I came out to enjoy the night skies in this vige. What about you? Why are you here on
your own?"
Noticing Charmine frowning, Dior probed, "Something''s on your mind?"
Charmine shook her head. "It''s nothing. I just came out for some air."
Dior frowned and looked at her. ''Your face tells me that something''s on your mind."
Slinging an arm around Charmine''s shoulder, Dior replied," I’m your best friend. Tell me anything-it''s
bad to bottle things up. Let me be your listener."
Charmine turned to look at her. Recalling just how frustrated she was after everything that had
happened with Anthony, she thought for a moment and said, "I do have something on my mind.
Regarding Anthony."
Dior''s interest was piqued right off the bat, and she looked at Charmine readily for gossip.
Charmine said, "He broke up with me out of the blue not long ago. He left and went ahead to n his
wedding with Waverly. I took a long while to walk out of it, but when I finally let go of him, he showed up
right at my face and wouldn''t leave me alone..."
Charmine looked visibly distressed as she spoke, her frustration evident in her eyes.
Dior frowned. "Isn''t it a good thing? He wouldn’t let you go, so you two can go back to what it was."
"Heh." Charmine scoffed. "To me, once he leaves, there''s no going back!"
Her voice was clear and crisp.
However, Dior could clearly see the confused look in her eyes. It was not as simple as she made it
sound.
